Apologies for the break in cats, life has been rather full of late. It is fortunate therefore, that while I am dashing about jumping into rivers and suchlike, that I can leave the guarding of the pumpkins to Percy. This is a ‘Crown Prince’ (an F1 I’m afraid, but they taste superb), and such a fine specimen of course requires guarding only by the finest cats. And yes, it is blue. Blueish greenish greyish, but really quite blue in the right light.
